    How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

    To NPR: massive thanks for hosting one of my all time favorite bands (and so many others), Tiny Desk deserves a spot on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list.
    To Mandolin Orange: massive thanks for your beautiful music over the years. There's much melancholy in much of what you do, but also an unyielding feeling that things - somehow ­- will work out. Hard to explain but that's my gut feeling every time I hear your music.

    Not sure a 52-year-old father of 3 adult children is their target demographic, but this may be one of the most relaxing breaths of fresh air I've felt in a while. And I do not like when artists, male or female, or judged by their looks, nor use them to sell their songs. So this isn't about looks. But how did she know at 1:38 to open her eyes, and be staring right into the lens...into our souls...and then immediately glance away? It had a hauntingly beautiful effect on the performance.

    I lost my mom at the end of last year. But my aunt has really been my mother figure, raised me, and three other generations. I miss my mom but this first song reminds of how unfathomably heartbroken I will be when my aunt passes to the other side. Much love to all the old hens.

    "It should have been different
    It could have been easy
    But pride has a way of holding too firm to history
    And it burns like wildfire"
    Those lyrics hit!

      As a southern boy, it's comes across as being mighty kind of them to ascribe it to pride. Writing it off as pride is being generous for many of the folks I've known..

    I keep on coming back to this. This duo is in such a perfect sync and harmony, I've never heard anything like it before.
    AND, I want to point out what a good mic selection this was. It's incredibly balanced, complimenting the balanced duo. I want more of this!!!

    I don't think you can truly understand how masterfully this is produced until you listen to most of these bands live elsewhere. I've watched a ton of their concerts and I always find myself back at NPR. A ton of talent behind that camera.

    I'd had been watching them far a while when this happened. Such a great choice for tiny desk. These two have created a few song that transcended themselves and we who listened. They wove an emotional rope into the past and pulled into now and tossed it into the future tug of war that still is and will continue. The futility of grieving, the hope that travels on, the stupidity of war and hatred all riding on the melody strings that plays within us all.

    Just found these guys today. Listening to their studio recordings is one thing but hearing them live in a stripped down setting makes it so much better. I can feel their connection, drawing out words the same way and the dynamics are so balanced. For some reason it's almost like they're trying not to cover each other up by being too loud. The result is perfect balance.

    Mandolin Orange!!!!!!!!! I love them so much. So many great songs and killer albums that you can just play without having to skip the ones that are kinda lame, because every single song on the whole album is smooth like butter and it just melts into the next one. kinda like their harmonies
